We're underway at the Allianz Arena.
Jupp Heynckes have been a force in the Bundesliga and are on course to win yet another league title. They have been made to work hard in their last two matches, defeating Schalke by a narrow margin. Bayern needed a late strike from Robert Lewandowski from the penalty spot to record a comeback win over Wolfsburg after falling behind to Daniel Didavi's early effort. Heynckes will want to see a stronger performance tonight.
Bayern finished behind Paris Saint-Germain on goal difference in Group A, winning five out of their six matches. The only game they lost came against PSG on the road, although the German outfit were able to inflict revenge on their rivals at the Allianz Arena in the final group game.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the round-of-16 Champions League clash between Bayern Munich and Besiktas at the Allianz Arena.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Besiktas topped Group G by remaining unbeaten in their four matches. The Turkish outfit were handed a favourable group, which was arguably the weakest of the eight. However, they recorded four victories and drawing twice at home againt Monaco and Porto. They finished off their campaign with a solid win over RB Leipzig on the road. Senol Gunes' men will be aiming for another strong outing on German soil.
BAYERN (4-3-3): Sven Ulreich; Joshua Kimmich, Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels, David Alaba; Javi Martinez, Arturo Vidal, James Rodriguez; Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski, Kingsley Coman.
Heynckes has made nine changes to his side that defeated Wolfsburg at the weekend. Only Ulreich and Martinez retain their places, with the majority of the senior players coming back into the fold. Ribery and Robben played against Wolfsburg and have to settle for places on the bench this evening as Coman, Muller and Lewandowski lead the three-man attack.
STAT! Bayern Munich and Besiktas’ only previous encounter was in the 1997/98 Champions League group stages. The Bavarians won both games 2-0.
Besiktas drew 1-1 with Konyaspor in their last league outing. Gunes has made three changes to his side from their last match. Adriano comes into the team at right-back, while Vida comes into the middle of the defence. Quaresma starts ahead of Lens on the right flank.
STAT! Bayern Munich have reached the Champions League semi-finals in six of the last eight seasons. Meanwhile, this is the first time Besiktas have reached the knockout stages of the competition.
STAT! Besiktas are the only side to have won all three of their away games in the Champions League this season.
HALF-TIME: BAYERN 1-0 BESIKTAS
Thomas Muller has handed Bayern the lead at the break in the first leg of their round-of-16 Champions League clash with Besiktas. It has been a match full of drama, with the visitors reduced to 10 men in the 15th minute when Domagoj Vida brought down Robert Lewandowski on the edge of the box. The Turkish outfit defended well for the majority of the first half, but were undone just before the break when Kingsley Coman's cross was deflected into the path of Muller, who converted from close range. Bayern will be determined to capitalise on their numerical advantage to take the game out of the hands of Senol Gunes' men.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Bayern Munich have dismantled Besiktas' Champions League hopes this evening, effectively ending the tie in the first leg. Domagoj Vida's dismissal in the 15th minute set the tone for the match and allowed the home side to dominate. It took a while for Bayern to capitalise, scoring just before the break through Thomas Muller. However, it was all one-way traffic in the second half as Muller notched his second along with a brace from Robert Lewandowski and a strike from Kingsley Coman. It will take something special for the Turkish outfit to come back from this deficit in the second leg.
